Front Porch...

The framers continued working on the front porch structure today.  They also worked on the vaulted greatroom, and back deck and stairs area.  We will have "ADA" friendly stairs, which means the risers of the stairs will be lower than usual.  This will help all of our "older" friends and family be able to get up the stairs.  Of course, it will help us out some day also!  (Looking to the future......).  Our front porch posts will have stone veneers around the bottom half of each post.  The same stone will be used on the fireplace.  The stone will also skirt the front and front sides of the house.  They have temporary steps right now at the front porch.  They will build permanent stairs later which will line up with the front door, the foyer, the greatroom, the back double french doors, and out to the back deck and stairs.  It should be an awesome view as you walk into the house...clear to the lake!
